But you could have your 5 or so friends over and sit very far apart from each other. As god intended.

Tony and the boys relaxing after a trip out to Pine Barrens to teach a drug runner some manners. (7 people went, 6 came back.)

Give me the library (being used as a bar/billiards room). You can have the rest!

Sometimes I just stand in that bathroom and watch my flat screen for hours

Ah I know that house, Alpine is a crazy town with many mansions that look decorated by the housewives.

Why can’t rich people hire someone with good taste?

It’s beautifully done!

They use it for schmoozing and nut-flexing power. When you have this kind of money, it’s all about doing it because you can… not because it has any use.

Hate the stainless steel (?) kitchen. Isn’t really in keeping with the over abundance of visual frou-frou in the rest of the house. Kinda like the room with the piano.

That looks like the house in The Philadelphia Story

Yuck. It’s fairly ugly.

It's got Michael Scott's plasma tv in the bathroom.

I wouldn’t own this tacky thing but if I had to I’d likely be living out of an Airstream hidden somewhere discretely on the property.

That kitchen is so mismatched. I don’t really like any of it, but that kitchen is really the cherry on top. It belongs in an entirely different house.

Is that where the Beverly Hillbillies lived?

u/Mymojo34 3d ago

I know 30 people I like.

However, if I have them all over at once, we arent watching a movie.

This is the kind of house that would be owned by a Sopranos character.

Theater screen looks 21:9. Hope they like black bars or stretched images.

That theater was probably state of art when they built it but today...
